Saudi Cleric Says Women in the West Suffer Humiliation and Degradation

In an interview on the Saudi Al-Ahwaz TV station on August 24, Saudi cleric Sheikh Muhammad Al-Shemali said Western women live “a bitter reality” of humiliation and degradation:

“When we talk about the women of the West, we are talking about a bitter reality, which is the daily life of women there. This is not a happy reality. The women in those Western societies are suffering. Unfortunately, what the media shows us are some aspects – the prompt smiles and happiness – inviting (our) women to live in similar societies. The truth is that (the Western women) wish that they could live like Muslims. Why? Because they have known humiliation and degradation, which they do not see among Muslim women, who are honored by Islam.”
